I'll bet she'd be glad to know she was mentioned here on JMDL and I for one was glad to read it here from you, Catherine. However, I am a simple soul with no knowledge of the Great Book of Copyright although others clearly are.

Anyone have any thoughts about which of Joni's love songs might make great dance?

I know we've done the "how I found the list" thing before, but it pays to revisit, for the newbies and the old'uns as well. I know that many of us have said how we heaved a huge sigh of relief when we discovered there were others out there like us - Joni fans! How many of us, the minute we got internet access, typed in "Joni Mitchell" in whatever search engine was current at the time? I don't think it's just in the academic realm that a person might be a bit reluctant to make him- or herself vulnerable enough to admit a love for Joni. I don't know why that is. I suppose I might be the same about admitting a love for pretty much anything to people. Maybe it's the fear of ridicule, or maybe the fear of the other person having NO idea who or what you were talking about. And there's the whole "professional" thing. I'm not sure if anyone I worked with, with a few possible exceptions, had any clue about my private life at all, much less my Joni-fandom. I always kept my personal life and my work life completely separate. Of course, there are people who have absolutely no shame or fear of that sort of thing, and I wish I were one of them, because life is way too short to worry more about what others think of you than what you think of them (which is equally valid - I know this on an objective level, but still worry too much about whether or not other people are going to like me.) >________________________________ > From: Anita >To: David J.

First, there's the joy of recognizing people like yourself, then there's the pleasure of becoming accepted by and interacting with those people, then there's the political work of making sure people like yourself are valued. >> >> This list has done all of that for me. Seriously, believe it or not, it's let me get over the shame of being a Joni fan (fan being short, of course, for "fanatic" and fanaticism not being highly valued in my staid and measured world.) If people like you are fans, then goddamn it, I'm one too. I don't care who knows it. And more than that, the world is a better place because of us!
